This side is south facing and there are no side trees blocking
horizontal sun exposure.

So, my questions a

What might be causing this condition starting only this past year?

What damage is being caused by the moss on the shingles?

What could I do to eliminate and prevent future growth?

Any possible recourse with the shingle manufacturer?

Thanks for any/all advice provided.

Is new roof the same color and texture, I could understand a more
agressive texture or style holding tree debris instead of alowing it
to wash off since oaks drop sticky sap in early summer, a different
color would not heat up the same as the old roof from the sun
affecting what lives. I would not scrub the roof. Zinc strips at the
peak might help. Contact the roof co, bleach and other "moss"
treatments will kill mold and moss but will it ruin the roofs life
expectancy? Your store bought moss treatments probably have Sodium
Hypochlorate as the main ingrediant, thats just Laundry bleach for 10x
the price. Contact GAF.
